I suspect my graphics card is causing my computer to crash and need advice on a replacement. Anyone know their stuff?

I'm no expert Mr Monty so if it's the graphics card is making your computer crash, then it maybe a wrong fit. If you can take it out and try putting it back, or it maybe it's not configured correctly. In which case you should be able to alter this in the Settings. Sorry couldn't be of better help. PS You have tried turning it off and on first?

I'm no expert either , but like to help , just guessing but is it anything to do with installing Windows 10? If so you might need to update or download an app in order to update.

Nah it's the card that's worn out mechanically. They are basically too heavy for the connecting strip; I've had it happen before.
I want to buy a current one with the same power as the dodgy one, which is out of production. I was hoping someone had looked into them recently to save me having to do so.
GTX 650 Ti is the chipset. Budget of 100 snodgers max.

Mr Monty if you want to risk it, try a site like Wish, cheap and direct from China. I know a few blokes who've got phones and they are really good and cheap. Beware mind you can get some cheap tat that lasts 5 mins.

I once bought a Doogee brand phone that had Wish advertisements hard-wired into it!
It kind of gave me an aversion to Wish.
